Plethora of Penalties Disappoints Zorn

The Redskins were penalized 15 times for 113 yards, and the infractions came in all three phases of the game -- offense, defense and special teams -- and many of the penalties were called against the first team.

Starting defensive tackles Albert Haynesworth and Cornelius Griffin were called for a neutral-zone infraction and encroachment, respectively. One of the most significant penalties came on the Patriots' third drive, when the Redskins appeared to have stopped New England wide receiver Randy Moss short of a first down on third and seven.

But cornerback DeAngelo Hall -- who had a tough time covering Moss all night -- was called for a face-mask violation that advanced the ball 15 yards and kept alive a drive that eventually ended in a touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Moss.

On offense, starting right tackle Stephon Heyer was called for holding, and guard Derrick Dockery was whistled for a false start.

"That was one of the real disappointments," Coach Jim Zorn said of the penalties. "There was just kind of a groan [when he told the team how many there were]. We all have to take responsibility for that."
